Hello All

I used to get my cello strings from someone down the road, who could order whichever ones you wanted, but I'm at uni now and I went to a couple of shops and they both said they didn't order strings in. Could anyone recommend somewhere reliable to get them off the internet? It's just last time I did that, the company turned out not to exist and I never got them!

Thanks!

I buy violin strings from either http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/ or http://www.stringmail.co.uk/ depending which is cheaper at the time (don't forget postage!).

I'm pretty sure they both do cello strings as well.

I second that and yes, they do cello and double bass strings (which I will buy soon I think, but at ?150 for the set I keep making excuses to delay the buy )

I use stringmail. If you phone them the guy is very helpful and knowledgeable.

I use thestringzone as they have always delivered the correct items promptly.

I do not use stringmail as only time I ordered from them they sent the wrong strings. I had to phone them several times to get them to send me the correct strings and when they finally appeared I had to collect them from the post office and pay for the postage as they had not paid for it. I also had to return the incorrect strings at my own expense. So for me it ended up being an expensive place to buy strings.

Thanks guys! will have a look at those sites x

Usually much cheaper to buy from the USA (eg quinnviolins or gostrings.com).
